What To Expect

Kourtaliotiko Gorge

Kourtaliotiko Gorge is a stunning natural wonder in Crete, famous for its dramatic cliffs, lush vegetation, and breathtaking waterfalls. As you hike through the gorge, you’ll experience the rush of wind echoing between the towering rocks, giving the area its name—“Kourtaliotiko,” meaning clapping sound. With its unspoiled beauty and rich wildlife, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. # Keep in mind, the descent from the viewpoint to the waterfall takes about 25 minutes, with an equally timed ascent back up, making it a rewarding and immersive experience #
